Issue No 112 Family Jewel Lyrics

I'm back to broke, lost my job, I had to smoke
Lost my girl, I had to cope
The world cold and I ain't have a coat
So yeah, I'm out here, spitting icicles
'religion? Nigga, that's a joke
It was really funny till my aunty had a stroke
Christmas eve it was, I remember the next morning gifts was meaningless
Looking up to the sky like why you mean to us?
But can't cry 'cause my momma really needed us
So the young started rhyming, going through hell
But I know my aunty smiling down

Walking in the bathroom door
All I see is my momma on the floor
With a bottle next to her so I gotta rescue her
Now I'm beating down her chest like mommy, get up!
I swear I'll clean my room but you gotta get up
I ain't got enough strength for you not to get up
So get up!
That was back in '94, her eyes open and she said what you crying for?
She alive in Chicago, and sure made sure always did my chores
Elbows off the table, mouth close when you chewing
Not a man without manners, that's the shit she taught to us
You know, yes sire, yes mam, never be a motherfucker yes man
Yes, mam, and never ever let them change you
And you're my motherfucking angel, thank you
And I remember she always striving for perfection
If my handwrite wasn't good enough for my homework she'll tear it up
Make me do it again
Man, I hated that shit but I appreciate it now
I love you, aunt Jewel, rest in peace
